Building A Program At The Moment That Changes Registry Entries To Turn On And Change?
Dec 23, 2011
building a program at the moment that changes registry entries to turn on and change, and off proxy settings. This small program is going to be dropped on each persons desktop so they can easily turn on the proxy in work, and turn it off when they take their laptop home.
However, the proxy address changes depending on which company I am at. I would like to be able to make a single program, but have a "hidden" setting to change the proxy and store it in the program, and push a copy of the file out across the network to each machine. I tried to make it so the proxy address can be saved as a string in My.Settings, but it would have to be made as a User setting rather than an application setting to give it read-write access.The only other option I can think of is to hard-code the proxy address into the program, which really isn't ideal

Right now I can add background music in my program by using this code
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Music_3, AudioPlayMode.Background)
I can also turn it off and change the music by using this code
My.Computer.Audio.Stop()
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Another_Music, AudioPlayMode.BackgroundLoop)
Is it possible to pause the music then if I resume the music it will just continue the flow? I mean if I pause the background music in 33 seconds and the music has 50 seconds and I resume it will just continue playing in 33,34,35 etc.. seconds?

We have a VBScript that launches an Access app that connects via ODBC to SQL Server - wouldn't you know the server name is changing.
Is it possible to use VBScript to modify the ODBC information in the registry to point to the new server? Basically changing one specific value for one specific key. Am I better off deleteing the ODBC key and readding it from scratch?

I am trying to write an app to automate several things that I have to do on a new computer once I have deployed an image, hoping someone could give me some pointers for them:-
1) changing computer description - wmi perhaps?
2) changing computer name - again wmi perhaps?
3) changing permissions on an existing registry key to full control
4) changing the "time to display list of operating systems" when booting from 30 secs to 3
5) turn off simple file sharing
6) and setting current user account so that password doesn't expire - at moment I do it from cmd prompt and do "wmic useraccount where "name='name'" set passwordexpires = false
7) change power plan settings so put the computer to sleep is "never" on both battery and mains

I was wondering if I could regulate/change CPU fan speed or just turn it off with VB? And also, I thought if windows can change hard drive speed during worktime, can I also make an application with VB to change hard drive speed? RAM speed? Processor speed? Video card speed? Wanna do a kind of custom overcklocking tool.

I'm building a small program and I have a numbers only textbox where its content need to be higher than 1. So what I have is a messagebox pop when the text change and its lower or equal to 0. What I'd like to do is have the text changed to what it was before the number was changed to <= 0.Here's what I have for the control:
Private Sub txtDelay_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtDelay.TextChanged
If txtDelay.Text <= "0" Then
MessageBox.Show("Delay must be atleast 1 millisecond.", "Delay Error")
End If
End Sub

I have a program where you have three entries, CD name, artist, price and it goes into a listbox and .txt file when closing. I have to have a message box if you enter the same CD name. I have a code to open the .txt file and compare strings but I need to change it to compare only the CD name and not all three entries. Is there a way to do my string compare against my listbox without opening the .txt file?? The program loads the listbox from the .txt file when opening. Private Sub btnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click' adds CD information to the list box
' declare variables
Dim strName As String
Dim strArtist As String
Dim strPrice As String

I want to make a simple program with I can turn on/off litle USB LED.
Nothing special, just one small LED as you learnt in 8th grade.
I think the simpliest way to do this is "powering off" USB port. But how?
I'm using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.

I want to set a certain column to true or false automatically based on what value another column has entered. I managed to get this working by myself using the 'SQL Pane' in VB and testing it by using execute sql but I don't know what to do now. I assumed that I could just save it and it would work from there but that's not the case, it dissapears from the SQL Pane if I close the project (even though it worked fine when I ran the project the first time), so where do I put it/what do I do with it in order to get this to work?

Im trying to see if you can make a GUI that can edit the Source code of your progam and then building it as an .exe..Say you have a login program and you wanted to change the password, All you do is go to the "Edit My Account" and go to password and then enter your old password and in the next textbox your new password.Then you would click save and it will ask for a directory and save it as .exe. And when you would start your newly compiled program you can used the program you just entered in.

I currently have a windows services application written in vb.net 2008I want to mass build releases/installers that can carry an unique ID.So that each of my client can download an unique copy of the programMy windows services app must be able to access that unique ID.Heres an live scenario:I have 10000 clients, they can login to my website to download my program.Lets say client #10 downloads my program, the program will be able to read a value somehow that will give "10".The program downloaded by client #500 will be able to read the "500" value.The only ideas i can think of are:- Make the installer read the file name of the installation file, and add a registry key depening on part of the file name.

I am building a program that calculates the number of books by points.Ex: 1-3 books read are worth 10 points, 4-6 are worth 15 and > 6 are worth 20. The issue I'm having is getting it to calculate the the first 3 books, the 2nd 3 books and then the > 6.Ex: User inputs 8 books read. It should display 115 in the label.
1. I'm using an If statement (should I be)
2. Could I use a decimal for the > 6?
Ex: intTotalNumberOfBooks = (intTotalNumberOfBooks * intFirst3Books) *#D
I know this is something simple and it's out of VB 101, but it is my very first programming class and my professor uses a copy paste method during class.

I have a requirement to construct a Arena simulation model using an entirely separated external VB program, instead of using the build-in VBA programming capabilty. I have some progress on building such program, but not satisfied with the behavior.
Is it possible to create a Model without starting the Arena.exe?If the program halt for any reason (such as termination of debugging) during the model creation steps, the subsequent call to the CreateObject function failed with result like "Cannot create ActiveX/Com objects". This error still occurs even if I manually kill the Arena.exe via the Task Manager. How to avoid this?
-- Current Code --
Try
arenaApp = CType(CreateObject("Arena.Application"), Arena.Application)
arenaModel = arenaApp.Models.Add
